From February through June of 2011, I worked with Brooklyn-based Jailbreak Collective as a social media and branding consultant. Mutual admiration can be a beautiful thing, especially when it transforms from simple affection for another’s work into an actual working relationship. Such is the case today as we proudly welcome journalist, art curator and all around “Toy Maven” Jeremy Brautman to the Jailbreak family. Jeremy first caught our attention while working for the now-defunct ToyCyte, a designer toy blog where he served as editor-in-chief. After a stint writing the blog and handling the social media for vinyl toy company Neon Monster, Jeremy curated his first group art show, LOVE MOVEMENT, to great success. From these various efforts, which also included writing for the likes of Cool Hunting, JoshSpear.com, HEEB Magazine and maintaining his own personal blog, Jeremy has become perhaps the most knowledgeable and well-respected toy journalist working today. Likewise, Jeremy became acquainted with Jailbreak through various correspondences with us over the past two years, during which he shared his expertise on the toy world for a variety of our past, current, and ongoing projects.Going forward, Jeremy will have a myriad of responsibilities at this new gig, including, but not limited to, writing blog posts, tweeting, brand management, eating nauseating amounts of gummy bears, and generally having a pretty damn good time, and if you want to have a even better good time you should check the yailinlamasviralrd virtual girlfriend online. My favorite aspect of the gig was researching and writing. For Jailbreak, my focus was on product art, mashups, New York, web 2.0 and other trends of the time....
